Two years ago on October 12 2011, Richard Dawkins was scheduled to speak at Wyndgate Country Club in Rochester Hills, MI-an event to discuss his book .
Unfortunately once Wyndgate’s owner, Larry Winget, got wind of Dawkins’ appearance on O’Reilly Factor, Dawkins’ event was cancelled. Country Club got wind of Dawkins’ appearance, Local Atheists who plopped down $95 per plate to hear Dawkins speak looked forward to the event. Read the rest of this entry »
Hi Everyone,
In two months American Atheists will hold their national conference at the Hyatt Regency Austin. In networking, with another minority group, Black NonBelievers’ President,Mandisa Thomas-I was invited to share some space at her org’s vendor table in order to make others aware of MAM’s existence outside of Michigan. Of course, I accepted.
I’m not sure how many people are interested in attending or were aware of the conference but here’s the link, AA Events Summary . I’m sure it will be exciting to hobnob and meet other Atheists…but this opportunity for me is personal-bringing awareness to Minority Atheists of MI.
Should you decide to go to Texas in March, awesome!! I’ll see you there!!

This past Friday TV One, an African American cable network, aired an episode on its show ‘Belle’s’ that highlighted one of the main characters, Jill, meeting a man named Jack. Cute right? Anyhoo, Jack and Jill proceed to date for two months without incident. After two months of dating Jill decides it’s time Jack meet her family over dinner at the family restaurant, Belle’s.
Thank you, ModPrimate!!
If you questioned the 40 years and older population on what morality means to them, you’d most likely receive a response that included the Bible as being their moral compass. Not so, concerning today’s youth. Read the rest of this entry »

In keeping in the spirit of Black History Month, February 24th is acknowledged as Day of Solidarity for Black Nonbelievers. Before this meetup is misconstrued, this meetup is open to all members. Also, meeting at Charles H. Wright Museum was borne from speaking with MAM member, Jim Dixon at our last meetup-thanks Jim!! Admission is $8, if someone has trouble paying, please let me know. For more information about Charles H Wright Museum, click here.
Per author, Donald Wright:
“The Day of Solidarity for Black Non-Believers (DoS), held annually on the fourth Sunday in February, must be embraced beyond the events that take place in cities across the nation on that day. It must be used to build genuine communal relationships. It must be used to launch a wave of activism among blacks in America and other people of color as we strive to openly embrace our non-theist status in an ethical and dignified manner. Those that accept this call to activism must garner enough interest to create and support opportunities that will motivate those who have so far remained dormant except for an occasional message via email, Twitter, blogging, or postings on Facebook. This Day of Solidarity event is an effort to bring them out from behind those high tech media devices and other locations that keep them inconspicuous.”
This is an attempt to bring black nonbelievers OFF the internet and out meeting like minded individuals. Members, if you know of African American non believers who don’t get out and mingle with other freethinkers-please share this meetup with them-thanks!
